Capcom Dates Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

Game drops in February, and we've tracked down a great on a Mad Catz FightStick.

Capcom has officially dated its anticipated fighter mash-up, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and we've tracked down an amazing deal that will help fans of the franchise polish up on their skills in style and be ready to take on the competition in time for the game's launch.

Via the Capcom Blog, the publisher/developer announced that Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds will launch in North America on February 15, 2011.

And if you're a fan of the classic 2D fighter interested in taking your game to the next level in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, you'll definitely need one of those fancy pro-style Street Fighter arcade controllers. Lucky for you, we tracked down an amazing deal at Walmart.com.

Typically priced anywhere from $130 to $150, the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition FightStick can be yours for $29 right now at Walmart.com. Even better, the ridiculously low-priced arcade controller comes complete with a copy of Street Fighter IV.

Sharkey says: There is one caveat here: the item description on Walmart.com clearly states you'll receive the "Mad Catz Official Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition." However, the picture is of the standard FightStick. We're trying to get clarification from Walmart on this one, as there is a noticeable difference in quality and performance between the standard and tournament editions. However, even the standard controller is a good one and typically priced at $80. So any way you slice it, the $30 bundle is a ridiculous deal.
